Taco bar hire in Cowden
Taco bar hire for your event in Cowden
We bring taco bars to events in and around Cowden: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces, wherever there is room for the table. For working lunches and back-garden gatherings, we can serve warm corn and flour tortillas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and pickled onions and toppings for your guests.
In a small place like Cowden, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Where the truck can go in Cowden
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- A clear area in front of the station
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A level area for the taco-bar table

Step by step
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Cowden until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Get in touch with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
How to prepare

Planning a taco bar in Cowden
Cowden is about 5 miles east of East Grinstead, in Kent. From the centre of Cowden to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover all 922 towns and villages in Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Royal Tunbridge Wells, about 8 miles away.
Close to Cowden are historic houses such as Bassetts Manor (1.7 miles south) and Hammerwood Park (1.7 miles south-west). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off. Guests leaving a church like Church of St Mary Magdalene could head to a nearby hall or garden where the taco bar is ready. With the High Weald National Landscape about 5 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Cowden. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload.

Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Ensure one filling is vegan
- Tell us when guests should eat
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.

What taco bar hire costs

- How long we are needed on site
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Whether you need disposables

- Gate widths, slopes and the ground

Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Your questions about taco bar hire in Cowden
Is Cowden close to London?
About 26 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Which station is closest to Cowden?
The closest is Cowden station, roughly 1 mile away.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Is the food very hot?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We agree the timings with your venue, and guests build their own plates.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
